Journalist wrongly addresses Pellegrini

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini was mistaken for his predecessor Roberto Mancini by a journalist today.

The Chilean, who replaced the Premier League-winning manager at the Etihad Stadium in the summer, is preparing his team to face CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday.

According to BBC Sport journalist Ben Smith, Pellegrini was called "Mr Mancini" by one journalist, while another referred to his City side as the club's arch rivals Manchester United.

In the Premier League, City are currently fifth in the table.
